5 Day Skill Building Intensive

Quick post today to announce a 5 day intensive workshop I will be holding in my Canmore studio late June/early July.

We will be working on building skill in accurately seeing and painting color and value using simple still life set-ups for the first 3 days, and then speed painting from models for the last two with a focus on eliminating detail and painting instinctively.

This is the best of what I have learned over the years packed into 5 days, and it is certain to deepen your understanding of key fundamentals and propel your painting forward. More details here. *March 30th update: the class is now full with a wait list.

On another note, check out this very cool video merging 500 years of female portraits in western art.

Welcome!

Throughout my career, I have discovered what invigorates, captivates and entertains me is challenge. My first love is landscape, but in the past few years I have added still life and figurative work to my subject matter, and painting directly from life has become my predominate approach of choice.
The intention of this blog is to share insights into one artist's journey. I hope you will find it both intriguing and inspiring.
